Europe has dual currencies; why not America? Let the currencies compete to see which one is perceived to be best managed and most valuable. Like any commodity, a more limited supply (i.e. monetary conservative) fosters enhanced value. In other words, let the market place decide. Of course, the portraits would be the same; and at the top of N.A. dollar, one would have Federal Reserve West note.
An alternative to another world reserve currency, or in addition, would be to introduce a competitive currency for our debased D.C. dollar. Is the Fed just debasing the currency? Is it time for dual currencies here in America? Perhaps a Fed Reserve West in the heartland, with a N.A. dollar (North American dollar), with tight bank management controls, good IT team, and transparency and accountability, especially when temptation (creating money) is at the door or window. Start the 2 currencies at par. Then let all Americans decide what currency they prefer in transactions, both personal and for business accounting. A more limited supply increases the value of any commodity, including a currency; hence protecting the value of a currency. There is too much money out there idling already; more geenbacks by the Fed is not the solution; too much debt is the problem. Debt city or deleveraging city (D.C.) what's the call - America?

Appropriation bills start in the House; not in the Senate. The House has already voted on a bailout of hedge funds/Wall st. Why should the House consider constructing a new bailout bill? Credit tightness is handled by central banks; not by bailouts. Why wouldn't hedge funds unload toxic high risk debt to other firms, and then to the U.S. tax payer? National debt is at $15 trillion currently and dollar is at -30% compared to all other major currencies. So a we pay a 30% premium on oil. Let the markets mark to market to give a current value to any underlying actual assets. Also the House doesn't take orders from the Senate. The House has already voted and done it's work; House adjoined.

From above: Hedge fund hemorrhage. The $2T global hedge fund industry will shrink sharply as leverage becomes scarcer and more expensive, the world's largest hedge fund allocator says. 33-40% of funds may go dry, with arbitrage funds - which rely heavily on leverage - hardest hit. "I would not be surprised if, 12-18 months down the line, the $2T had become $1.5T," Christophe Bernard says. "There are too many weak players." 350 funds shuttered in H1, vs. 563 in all of 2007. "Darwinism is survival of the most adaptable. Those that can change to meet the current circumstances will do well and those that can't will go to the wall." course every one gets a markup, accept for us.
